Elites driving warthogs & tanks...

Does anybody know how to make it so Elites can drive the tank and warthog in MP? I have Elites in BG, but I want them to be able to drive all the vechiles. In the picture section in the Files there was a mod somebody was working on that had Elites(special) that could drive the warthog and tank! I got the Elites to use all the weapons, but I want them to be able to use all the vechiles, too! Any assistance would be appreciated! Thanks!

just do the same thing to all the vehicles, and they'll be inside. I just tried it w/ a tank and a warthog on all seats, and they pizzowned me! The only thing i didn't get to work was the banshee, but I'll get that to work in a little bit

I mean, that MC is changed to an Elite! You play as the Elites, so I'm wondering how the Elites can drive all the vehicles while playing as them, I havent tried anything with the AI, yet!

make a backup of ur map before following my instructions, cuz i could be wrong

Oh, sorry, thought you meant ai.

In HMT, go to the warthog, and change seats 0, 1, and 2 to G-driver. The only problem with that is that the elites won't be able to shoot in the passenger's seat.

Do the same with the tank seats, and it'll work.

I dont belive you can make them actually manuver these vehicles, they will turn on thier engines, use thier weapons and what not but the only thing the AI will actually drive is for sure the banshee and if you chnage the physics of teh banshee to lets say the tank they will make a tank float around but its just basically again a banshee and dosent behave like the tank, you could i guess go and chnage all the physcis properties but thats too much to deal with just to make a banshee behanve liek a tank and since you can just add Ai to a banshee and make it work. I still relate back to single player missions i dotn recall ever seeing anything cept banshess chase you down. Like marines never drive anything <outside of cut scenes>. But the pilot of the pelican does, so maybe a combination of those would result in movement. Or the covenant dropship gun actv.

oh sorry, try changing the seat name for say the warthog under HMT to G-driver instead of W-driver. I guess you mean you made your biped an elite and want to be able to use vehicles in that capacity?

Yeah, I changed the MC biped to the Elite biped and I changed all the human weapons' IDs to Plasma rifle IDs. Do I need a plugin to change the names of the seats? Thanks!

shoulndt, just go down to the vehicle section and choose the vehicle you want, over on the right you need to change where it says "seat" it will have a drop down window and have a list of numbers to choose from <0,1,2,3 and so on>. Those are the seat numbers, 0 for most vehicles is the driver, 1 for like the warthog is the seat for the passneger, and 2 would be the warthog gunner. these when selected show in the next few boxes different varibales and then a box that says seat name. This is where you would change the seat to what ever type you want.
